Performance 2000-01: System and Institution Summaries and Report Cards.

Oregon Univ. System, Eugene. Office of Academic Affairs.

Under a legislative mandate, system and institution performance reports are prepared for the Oregon higher education system annually to share descriptive information about the movement institutions are making with respect to the indicators adopted by the state in 1997. Chancellor'us staff prepared Report Cards and Summary Performance Reports for the System and each of the seven constituent institutions. These reports focus on performance movement in relation to institution targets. Overall, the results demonstrate that the System and the institutions improved in the 2000-2001 school year against the targets and, for the most part, against their performance in the previous year. Oregon University System (OUS) aggregate performance improved against targets for degree production in technology shortage areas; recent graduate satisfaction; gifts, grants, and contract expenditures; new Oregon freshmen enrolled; total unduplicated headcount; bachelors completion rate; and new Oregon transfers. Aggregate performance declined against the indicators of freshmen persistence, recent graduate success, and current fund balance. OUS aggregate performance is not yet available for degrees/certificates/licenses awarded in teacher education shortage areas. Findings indicate that many issues faced at the time of the first report in 1999 remain, but both OUS and individual institutions appear to be making progress. An appendix presents a performance and planning data dictionary. (Contains 14 tables and 2 figures.) (SLD)
